This wikiHow teaches you how to export your Android contacts to a SIM card or folder on your device.
Steps
-
Find the Contacts app in your Android's drawer. On Androids with the default (Google) contacts app, the app has a blue icon with a white outline of a person. Other Contacts apps may look different, but they should all be called “Contacts.” [1] X Research source

-
You'll see this option at the bottom of the screen. If you don't see an option like this, you might need to tap a three-dot menu at the top-right corner of your contact list and choose a Manage Contacts or Import/Export option.ref> https://support.google.com/contacts/answer/7280886?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid </ref>
-
You should see this on the "Fix & manage" menu. If you're using a different Contacts app, your export option might have a different name. [2] X Research source

-
You can select one or more Google accounts to export from. Contacts from selected accounts will be included in your exported file [3] X Research source .
- If your contacts are stored in multiple places (such as in a Google account and a SIM card), you may be prompted to select a contact source. Tap the source from which you want to export contacts, or select All Contacts .
-
A VCF file can be easily imported into any other phone or contacts app. If your Android gives you other options, such as exporting a CSV or other format, you can opt for that format instead. [4] X Research source
